Speaking as a pris ner who was there and lived to tell, I remember how it felt. I can hear the sound of freedom, like a distant voice it called And beckoned me to follow where I had never gone. Though my heart was willing, I just stood there at the wall, Praying somehow it would fall. But in a cross I found the doorway and the hand that held the keys. When the chains fell at my feet for the first time I could see. CHORUS This is how it feels to be free, this is what it means to know that I am forgiven. This is how it feels to be free, to see that life can be more than I imagined. This is how it feels to be free, yeah! This is how it feels to be free, yeah! VERSE TWO There are days when I m reminded of the prison I was in. Like living in a nightmare burning deep within. I can feel the voice of evil, I can hear the call of sin, But I won t go back again. See, once I tasted freedom and the chains could bind no more, Mercy gave me wings to fly, like an eagle I can soar. CHORUS: (key change) Somewhere there s a prison where the chains still bind. There, but for the grace of God, those walls would still be mine. So, for all the captives I say: CHORUS minus last phrase: (key change) CHORUS: This is how it feels to be free, yeah!
